Yes, I can, but the failure happens randomly.

Sorry, I did not know it was random when I initially reported the bug.

I just got a lot of failures in a row:

and assumed that it would always fail.

I'm using retitle to better reflect reality.

Please try several times (as it happens randomly) using sbuild on a
single-cpu system.

To double-check, I just build this package today 100 times and it
failed 72 times.

I'm putting all the build logs here (both successful and failed) for you to see:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/python-asyncssh/

My comments at the end of the initial bug report still holds:

* Please try using sbuild on a single-cpu machine.

* If you absolutely need it, I could give you access to a machine
where this happens (contact me privately for details).

Thanks.
